A knife in love

Chapter 29

Li Qiufeng leaned on the ridge of the roof, stuck his head out and looked into the courtyard.I saw a big fire burning in the middle of the yard, and dozens of men stood around it.These people have weapons in their hands, and they are sitting or standing, all of them have fierce eyes, and they don't look like good people.

The man Li Qiufeng had been following was standing among the crowd. Under the light of the fire, he was in his 40s, with a ferocious face and a scimitar in a black scabbard hanging from his waist. I have helped Zongyanzhao for decades, but I have never suffered such a big loss. Listen up, everyone. After a while, the boy will enter the city, and everyone will split up. As long as the boy is captured, the female will be enjoyed by everyone. !"

Everyone around applauded in unison, but someone said viciously: "I want that kid's heart to drink!"

Li Qiufeng looked for his reputation, but saw a big man in black sitting beside the fire.This man was stout and extremely aggressive, but his expression was sluggish, and he leaned on the ground coughing unceasingly as soon as he finished speaking.

The man who spoke before said humanely: "Have you heard what Deputy Chief Bai said? We all worked together to capture that kid, dug out his heart and gave Vice Chief Bai a drink!"

Everyone said in unison: "Follow the leader's orders."

Li Qiufeng thought: It turns out that the Shahe gang gathered here, and I don't know who they are looking for for revenge.The Shahe Gang is not a big sect in the rivers and lakes. It turned out that it was just a gang formed by the river workers in charge of water transportation to compete for spheres of influence. In order to ensure smooth water transportation, the government also turned a blind eye to the Shahe Gang.Later, the Shahe gang became stronger day by day, and a few scoundrels appeared in the gang, who went so far as to guard and steal themselves, breaking the rules of water transportation.The officers and soldiers rushed to Shahe to help the chief rudder to arrest the man, and the two sides fought.The members of the Shahe gang are not afraid of death, they are not as useless as the officers and soldiers, and there are indeed several martial arts experts in the gang, so the officers and soldiers suffered a great loss.The Governor of Water Transport was worried that the matter would be leaked and attacked by political opponents, and he didn't want to make things big, so he wanted to negotiate with the Shahe Gang.

Unexpectedly, Jin Yiwei's spies found out about this and reported it directly to the emperor.The emperor was furious and sent Jin Yiwei to arrest him.Jin Yiwei mobilized a large number of experts, directly found the chief helm of the Shahe gang, and the battle was fierce.The leader of the Shahe Gang was killed on the spot, and the top members of the gang were also killed and injured.From then on, it was difficult for the Shahe gang to get involved in the water transportation, so they had to escape to the Shanhaiguan area, and became a very small gang in the northern martial arts.

Seeing that these people were not making things difficult for him, Li Qiufeng wanted to leave secretly.But someone in the courtyard said: "Master, how did your old man know that that kid would go to Gu's old shop today?"

The gang leader said: "Stupid! The only thing left in Yong'an City is the Gu family's old shop and an inn. Judging by the behavior of that kid, he is undoubtedly the son of a rich family. How could he sleep on the street? A young boy who doesn't know martial arts will definitely rest in the Gu family's old shop tonight. At that time, we brothers only need to catch the turtle in the urn, and we are not afraid that this kid will fly out of our hands."

Li Qiufeng heard the gang leader say that it was a young man with a woman who could not learn martial arts, so he immediately listened attentively.But all the people in the courtyard continued to drink and eat meat, bragging about it, and after listening for a long time, they never mentioned this matter again.Li Qiufeng didn't dare to delay any longer, so he used his lightness kung fu and hurried back to his old shop.

When he was about to reach the old Gu's store, he remembered that there were four people staying around just now, so he stopped and hid on a higher roof to watch carefully.The four people left behind by the Shahe gang were hiding on the roofs around the old Gu family store, presumably they were spies left by the leader of the Shahe gang to monitor the situation in the courtyard.

Li Qiufeng quietly jumped onto a roof on the west side, tiptoed to the back of a member of the Shahe Gang who was crouching on the roof and was watching from the courtyard, and poked the "Fengfu Point" on the man's back with his finger , The man let out a muffled groan, and immediately passed out.Li Qiufeng gently lifted him up, jumped into a dilapidated room outside the back wall of the Gu family's old store, and put the Shahe gang in the room.Then he painted gourds in the same way, and within a cup of tea, he counted down the other three gang members and put them all into the dilapidated house.

When he returned to the guest room, Yan Dufei was drinking tea.He told Yan Dufei what he had just seen with the members of the Shahe Gang, and finally said: "From what the head of the Shahe Gang said, the one who injured the vice-head Bai was most likely the girl from the Murong family. I will come to Gu's old store, and if I meet Xu Yingyang, the two sides will fight each other, and things will be a little tricky."

Yan Dufei frowned, and said: "This girl is not afraid of anything, it's good to suffer a little bit. It's just that if she fights in this store, it will be bad for our next move. How can we think of a way to send her away?" ?”

Li Qiufeng smiled wryly and said: "I just don't know why she formed a relationship with the Shahe gang again. If she is allowed to make trouble in the Jianghu, the Murong family will probably offend half of the martial arts within half a year."

While the two were talking, they suddenly heard footsteps, so they stopped talking.At that time, the footsteps were still far away from the guest room, but the two of them had deep inner strength, and they already heard the footsteps.

The footsteps came to the door and stopped for a moment, then someone knocked lightly on the door twice and asked, "Are the two brothers there?"

Yan Dufei recognized Zhuang Hengyun's voice, nodded to Li Qiufeng, walked to the door and opened it.Zhuang Hengyun stepped into the room, clasped his hands together and said, "You two brothers, hurry up."

Li Qiufeng said: "Have everyone arrived?"

Zhuang Hengyun shook his head and said: "In order to prevent Xu Yingyang from noticing the difference, Brother Yu deliberately asked everyone to walk slowly. There is a fork in Beizhenkou, one leads to Jinan, Shandong, and the other leads to Yong'an City We all deliberately talked around Xu Yingyang, and then we took the road to Yong'an City. After passing through Beizhenkou, Brother Yu asked me to go ahead and arrange board and lodging for everyone, so I left early , arrived here first. It is estimated that the brigade will take more than an hour to arrive."

Yan Dufei said: "Didn't Xu Yingyang notice the difference?"

Zhuang Hengyun said: "We changed the route, but he didn't notice it. Brother Yu has been with him all the time, deliberately chatting with him, not giving him a chance to think about it. It's just that Brother Yu told us secretly that we arrived at the Gu family today. shop, you will be able to enter the Babao Lotus Mountain tomorrow. The arrow is on the line, and it has to be done. Right now, things can't be delayed any longer. Brother Yu means to have a showdown with Xu Yingyang tonight. If he catches up with this mess, everything will be fine Do it. If this person has any troubles, I will do him tonight!"

Li Qiufeng said in a trembling voice: "Xu Yingyang is a thousand householder of Jinyiwei North Town Fusi. If he is killed, this is a rare and serious case in Ming Dynasty. Even if we escape to the ends of the world, Jinyiwei will not let us go!"

Zhuang Hengyun said: "Things have come to this point, we can't allow us to turn back. Since everyone bowed to Guan Gong and knocked their heads to the ground, they have to share life and death and conspire together for great things. Besides, if we get the treasure, we will each share a large sum of money. , you can go overseas to enjoy yourself, why bother to be so angry in the Central Plains?!

Yan Dufei clapped his palms together, and said: "Second brother Zhuang is right, we brothers are all men who lick blood on the blade. These years, we were born and died in the rivers and lakes, and we are still oppressed by the court. Everyone only kneels down to their parents, Why should we humiliate ourselves in vain? Tonight, if Xu Yingyang is aware of the current affairs, it is fine. If he makes a slight change, we brothers will join hands to deal with him. No matter how good his martial arts are, I am afraid he will not be able to escape justice."

Li Qiufeng saw that the two were talking murderously, so he just shook his head vigorously, and said: "Although Xu Yingyang is walking with us alone, I am afraid that the masters of the Jinyiwei will be watching. The method, as long as Feige passes on the letter, a large number of Jinyiwei will be killed later. Besides, Yun Feiyang will definitely mobilize the defenders of the Imperial Tomb and surround us in Yong'an City. No matter how good our martial arts are at that time, if we confront the army, we will inevitably end up No bones left."

Yan Dufei and Zhuang Hengyun glanced at each other, Zhuang Hengyun said, "What's your opinion, Brother Li?"

Li Qiufeng said: "It's best not to do anything, but to tie Xu Yingyang here, and let's go secretly to Babao Lianhua Mountain."

Zhuang Hengyun shook his head, and said: "This Xu Yingyang is very cunning. He didn't even drink the water that Brother Yu handed him along the way. There is really no chance to do anything."

Yan Dufei said: "According to the two of you, Yun Feiyang sent this person to follow Master Yu. What is the purpose? He hurried to Tongzhou City just to let Xu Yingyang go with Master Yu Is it?"

Zhuang Hengyun said: "Brother Yu has also thought about this joint. He said that Yun Feiyang must have heard something, so he rushed to Tongzhou to have a showdown with Brother Yu."

"Showdown?" Li Qiufeng wondered.

Zhuang Hengyun hesitated for a moment and said, "Actually, Yun Feiyang knows that Wuhu Villa wants to make a big deal."

"What?" Li Qiufeng and Yan Dufei exclaimed in unison, their faces changed drastically, and their hearts were terrified.
